Where is the area with the most hail disasters in China?

The area with the most hail in China is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Hail disaster is a serious meteorological disaster caused by strong convective weather system. Although it appears in a small range and in a short time, it is fierce and strong, and is often accompanied by sudden disastrous weather processes such as strong winds, heavy precipitation and sharp cooling.

Hail mainly occurs in mid-latitude continental areas, usually more in mountainous areas than in plains, and more in inland areas than in coastal areas. Hail in China mostly occurs in spring, summer and autumn, accounting for about 70% of the total from April to July. Severe hail disaster areas include southern Gansu, Longdong, the yinshan mountains, Taihang Mountain, western Sichuan and Yunnan Province.

The harm of hail is mainly manifested in the rapid fall of hail from high altitude, rapid development and movement, and great influence. Coupled with the storm, its destructive power has been strengthened, which often makes farmers unprepared, directly threatening the safety of people and animals, and some even lead to casualties on the ground.
